Tickled Pink

Under One Roof – We’re on the Move!

Quichua’s retail location at 89 Sparks Street is moving – last day is December 30, 2017.

We are moving in with our sister shop, Tickled Pink, at 55 ByWard Market Square.

Our staff, Kameleon PopShop and other product lines will be set up at Tickled Pink – all under one roof! We’ll be ready to serve our customers by January 8, 2018. Other than the address, everything will be the same.

Why we’re moving

We have operated our locally owned, independent business on Sparks for nearly 24 years. During that time, we’ve faced a host of challenges. One of these challenges is the construction all around us. It has adversely affected the traffic coming to our door. We now know that there is no end in sight as Public Works’ renovations creep ever closer to our door. Major structural changes to our building are slated to begin shortly. As a result, it’s not feasible for us to remain on Sparks.

Under One Roof

Our Tickled PopShop is open 7 days a week, 363 days a year! As well, the ByWard Market has much to offer as a shopping and dining destination. Adjacent to the Rideau Shopping Centre, it’s packed with businesses of all kinds – shops large and small, outdoor market stalls with crafts, plants, vegetables and flowers, not to mention scores of dining options. It also has good bus access and many parking spaces.

Over the coming year, we will be expanding and improving our online shopping on Quichua.ca. We will do everything possible to make ourselves accessible. This might mean home or office delivery, private showings of new collections or something else we haven’t thought of yet! We invite our customers to talk to us and let us know what we can do to make this change a positive one.

We have developed wonderful relationships with so many of our customers through the years. They are the proof that while online shopping has an important role in the way people acquire goods, having a brick & mortar store where shoppers are face to face with a knowledgeable person – enabling them to see, touch and try the product before committing to it – is still a desirable way of shopping! We look forward to building on those relationships, to focusing our efforts and to having our whole product collection all under one roof!

Contact Info

Please note that our phone number (613-594-4836) and email address (quichua@bellnet.ca) will remain the same.
